8 F Tlul otln Sept lOlli 1
Oliver Winfield Wiuthrop mot his
doom this morning at tho hands of
a jury in Judgo Wallacos court At
twenty minutos before noon after a
deliberation lasting rather less than
five minutos tho jury decided that
ho was guilty of having with vio
leuce robbed James Campbell of
Honolulu
From the first the man hai had
the worst of the case Not only did
tho prosocution build up an almost
unbreakable chain of circumstantial
ovidunco agaiust him but hh owu
dofemo held him high along tho
road to San Quontin And when
the caso clospd yesterday and argu
ments wero entered upon it was felt
by all prosont that nothing could
save the accused despite all the
indefaligablo efforts of his counsel
Attorney Frank Bell took rathor
longer over his speech for the de
fense yesterday than ho originally
intended to do 1 shall spoak but
one hour ho said But he f poko
nearly a whole day He rliil what
he could to cant doubt into the
minds of tho jury He objected to
the abusive tones of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Black -who could no
more bo abusfro than lie could
jump ovit the union h spoke of
the strong alibi built up bj the wit
nesses with the fatal inner con
sciousness that I ho alibi witnesses
bandut proved auything at all or
at least had certainly failed to dis
prove auything st t up by the pro
aonution then Mr Ball turned his
attention to the prosecutiug witness
and his extraordinary talo of kid
napping and robbtiry
James Campbell the old Hawai
ian planter came in for a blast of
ridicule fired by Mr Bell His whole
story was an immense fabrcatiou of
oourse got up for the Rpecial pur
pose of concealing what was nothing
moro nor less than a gigantic drunk
en spree lasting over three days
And there was a woman in the case
no one saro Winthrop had seen
tho woman and there was no evi
dence of hor existence but there
was a woman iu the case Winthrop
had said so aud of his voracity Mr
Bell had no doubt Every inuideut
every act in that strange stoiy was
picked to pieces by Mr Bell in his
endeavor to throw discredit upon
old man Campbell
Mr Boll occupied the day and
Judge Wallace decided to adjourn
until this tnoriiiug before permit
ting Mr Black to close Consequ
ently tho public had anothei chance
to indulge its passion for sensation
alism by attouding Judge Wallaces
court another day Mrs Winthrop
tho steadfast little woman who
stuak to her rascally husband
through thick aud thin turned up
in court this morning bright nt evor
but whou Mr Black rose up to
deliver the clinching argument in
the case she was unable to htand the
strain and sought rofuge iu an anteroom-
Winthrop himself fpomed
resigned almost to indifference
even Campbell looked as if ho wish
ed he wero back iu Honolulu Tho
courtroom was so crowded that
Judge Bahrs with his Emma Ashley
extravaganza next door was no in
polled to play to empty benches
ThiB morning a article appeared
189G
in a daily papor to the effect that
Donald Archibald Urquhart the
witness who aided the prosecution
by exposing Winthrops nefarious
8ohomes was about to bo arrested
for perjury A lottor had been pro
duced from A G Irvinowardon of
tho Manitoba Penitentiary to tho
offset that Urquhart had served a
two yoar term for embezzlement iu
that institution from 1889 to 1891
Now Urquhart indubitably swore ou
tho witness stand that nothing of
the kind had ever happened to him
const quoutly the defense had some
thing to make of this
Urquhart had paid thnt the kid
napping schomo wn Winthrops
tho latter testified on tho stand tltif
Urquhart was the proposer of the
schemo that he Wiuthrop had re
fused to have anything to do with
itand that Urquhart had aided tho
polico in tho prosecution in order to
shield himself Consequently Mr
Bell Winthropa attorney was loud
last night in his threats to havo
Urquhart arrested
No wonder then that when Mr
Black addressed the jury this morn
ing he referred to this rumor Mr
Blnok had to say that Urquhart
could be produced whou required
that there was nothing in tho
and said Mr Black if tho at
torney for the dofense my good
frieud Mr Boll attempts to carry
out his ti feat attempts to havo this
mau arrested for his alleged perjury
ho will put his fool in the iniro no
deep that ho will find himself un
able to extricate it with tho same
ease with which he freed himself
i from those ropes when Mr Camp
bell attempted to lash him to a
cuair
Then Mr Black weut on to show
up tho woakuess of thodofeuso He
gavo all duo credit to Mr Bell for
his effort to free hU client but ho
showed that iu reality ho defense
amounted to nothing at all The
discredit thrown upon Campbells
story was ridiculous in that the old
planter could havo uo earthly object
in forgiug a story against a parti
cular man added to the fact that uo
sootier had the story appeared in
tho papers in connection with that
particular man than tho particular
mau chose to disfigure himself aud
to do his level best to skip the conn
try being only nabbed on tlie very
evo of departure
Youre right the jig is up Win
throp had said when arrostod by
Dotectivo Cody Would any
cont man have said this On these
lines Mr Black based his closing
argument aud whou ho had picked
Mr Bells argument sufficiently to
piocos aud had driven a few moro
nails into tho coffin that coutained
tho corpioof Winthropd unblemish
ed career ho gracefully retired and
permitted Judge Wallaoe to charge
tho jury
Judgo Wallaces charge was very
impartial Ho brielly instructed the
jury upon legal points in the eao
and took epeoial pains to inform
thorn that thoy nlouo wero judges of
tho facts Tho facts aro with you
gentlemen said his Honor deal
with thorn na vou nloase
c u
Tho jury wont out and before tho
spectators had time to ppeMilato the
boll rang Judge Wallace who had
composed himself in hia chambers
for a half houra emoke throw nw iy
his cigar and hurried into court
Wiuthrop kuow what was coming
but he was game He just knit his
teoth together and glared at tho
jury Guilty as charged was tho
brief verdict Judge Wallace fixed
Monday moruing next for soulouce
and the trial was pver
Afterward tho scene was pitiful
With admirable forewarning of tho
result aud with desire to save un
necessary pain to oue who already
aufforod enough Wiuthrops attor
neys had insisted upon his wifes re
tiring from tho room The poor
woman had givou way undor tho
No
Rtrain So ho was uot there but
her two children bright merry boyp
were there and it would havo turn
ed a heart of stono to soo those inno
cent childron utterly unconscious
of the awful import of tho proceed
ings laughing aud clapping their
hands with glee
Captain Lops says there is uo
truth in tho Urquhart story and
hat ho will mako it warm for Mr
Bell and the authors of a sensation
got up at the eleventh hour merely
for the edification of a jury On
tho other hand Bell sticks to his
story nnd says it will play an im
portant part iu hiti motion for a now
trial when the opportunity arrivos
